LOCK-COVER.

SPECIFICATION forming para of Letters Patent No. 760,830, dated May '24, 1904.

T0 @ZZ whom tm/tty concern:

Be it known that I, IGNATZ WEISNEK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Federal, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Lock-Covers, of which the following is a specication, ref'- erence being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in locks, and relates more speciiically to a cover and auxiliary lock for the main lock.

The device is particularly adapted to .be`

used in connection with trunks, chests, and other like devices, though it may be employed in other connections for which it may be found applicable.

The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,

forming a part of this specication, and where-- in like numerals of reference indicate like parts Ithroughout thel Several views, vin Which- Figure 1 is a yfront elevation of a trunk equipped with my improved lock-cover, the latter being in the closed or locked position; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of a part of the trunk, showing the lock-cover in the openposition. Fig. 3 is a detached detail perspective view of the hasp of the main lock. Fig.

,4; is a transverse vertical sectional view of the tion-lock type, employing, in connection with the tumblers, a hasp the bolt 2 of which is hinged to the securing-plate 3 and carries the rod 4, provided with a plurality of lugs 5, between Which the tumblers of the combination- Seria1.No.Al75,535.

lock are received. This combination-lock is suitably positioned inf the front wall of the trunk, chest, 0r other article, with the dial on the outer face thereof, and to prevent manipulation of this dial by unauthorized persons I provide the flanged cover 6, having a hinge 7 secured to oneend of said flange, on the eX- terior thereof, and to the front plate 8 of the combination-lock. Hinge 6 is preferably of a length equal to the width of cover 6, eX- tending the length of one end flangeof said cover for the purpose of strengthening the connection between thev hinge and the cover and the plate 8. In this cover-Hange is arranged a lock 9 of the key type, the lock-bolt 10 of which is adapted to be actuated by thebe hinged direct to the outer faceof the trunk or chest, though it is preferable to provide the face-plate 8 for this form of lock, and this `employment of said plate affords better Securing means for the cover and lkeeper of the auxiliary lock.

It will be obvious that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to securey by Letters Patent, vis- In combination with the plate of a lock, a lock-cover in its entirety comprising three parts, a rectangular member having its Side and end walls formed with` flanges, a hinge of the same length as the width of said mem- .ber having one of its leaves secured to the exterior of one end flange and its other leaf secured to Said plate, a key-operated lock secured to the interior of said member and abut- In testimony whereof I afhx my signature in ting the opposite end fange and the adjacent the presence of two Witnesses. side ange thereof, and a singfe keeper having an outwardly-extending apertured por- 5 tion to aline with the lock-bolt of the look, Witnesses:
